A Win32 API function failed
Help! I use Delphi 3 enterprise edition. I have an app that can not be run from the IDE. It has to do with memory. The IDE leaks like a sieve after running for a while. I get the error sometimes when I'm trying to alter a graph object. Sometimes the system will get so low on resources that it will lock up my system and I have to hard boot my system. My question is this: Is there a way to increase the memory the IDE allocates for running apps? Has anyone run into this problem? How did you fix this?

Oh, BTW, the app is a database app running under BDE 5.0.
It runs on a P2-300MHZ machine w/64Meg of RAM. I run the BDE off a Novell Network (Netware 4+). I also run VShield, Office Bar, and tape scheduler. So I have removed every thing from memory I could, closed everything I could, and I still get the error when opening certain forms.

I have considered this but I have opened the IDE with another delphi app already open and had it go boom without even attempting to run the app. We have several Delphi apps. Depending on which one is open, the IDE sometimes won't open with the app. I have the IDE set up to open with the last app worked. Also, this may be a Win95 thing, but I have opened the IDE and checked the resources. Worked in the IDE and rechecked the resources. Serious use of the resources, typically 3-6% resources left after being in the IDE a while.

I'm sorry Delphi.
The IDE itself is going to need to use resources. If there are not enough available then it won't run.
NT is a completely different story as its resource limitations are much, much higher than Win95's and is a much better platform to do the development on...
